Chapter 81: Some Cry and Some Laugh

"Brother, just tell me how to do it!"

Li Dayong knew Li Ye's intention to "deal with" Xia Yue and the others, and was excited to rub his hands.

Li Ye pursed his lips at Xia Yue and the others and asked: "Which school do you think they will apply for?"

Li Dayong immediately said, "I asked about this a long time ago. Jin Shengli originally wanted to apply to the Zicheng Agricultural Machinery Academy, but now he wants to apply to the Provincial Light Industry Academy."

"Xia Yue originally wanted to apply for Qufu Normal College, but recently she has been writing letters to Lu Jingyao, as if she has the idea of going to Beijing."

"Hmm?"

Li Ye was a bit surprised and said: "Have their goals both improved?"

Zicheng Agricultural Machinery College and the Provincial Light Industry College both have junior college majors, but the admission scores are quite different, and it might be more than 20 points.

Going one step further on the basis of a hundred feet is very difficult. These 20 points might take a few years of repeating, and they might not be able to surpass it.

Li Dayong looked at Li Ye and said: "You know, because since after the New Year, Lu Jingyao has been mailing college entrance exam materials to Xia Yue and the others, so they feel that they should be able to get a better score this year."

Li Ye nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face: "Confidence is a good thing. As classmates, we should help them be more confident,

It would be best to let them apply for undergraduate, apply for undergraduate in Beijing."

Li Dayong: "........."

【Brother, what are you talking about? We are enemies with Xia Yue and the others! And... your smile, why is it so like Cao Cao on the stage?】

However, Li Dayong was a person who was rough on the outside but delicate on the inside. After just a few breaths, he understood Li Ye's meaning.

"Hiss~, Brother, isn't this... a bit too ruthless?"

Li Ye was silent for a long time and nodded slightly: "It is indeed a bit ruthless, let's wait and see."

"My estimated score this time is 330—350, I should be able to try applying for a junior college..."

"I'm a bit worse than you, about 310—320, but junior college should be stable."

"The study materials from Beijing are really good. When I took the math exam this time, I felt like I was writing with divine help, in one go..."

"That's right, that's right. Lu Jingyao is still righteous, unlike some people, who act like asking him to explain a question is like taking his life..."

Inside the classroom, students who were close to each other gathered into several small groups and discussed enthusiastically.

And while discussing, many people would glance at the eight-person small group led by Li Ye, making soft laughter, not knowing what it meant.

Li Ye just smiled.

As long as you are happy.

Li Ye knew about Lu Jingyao mailing college entrance exam materials to Xia Yue and the others, because the money for buying the materials was raised by the class.

Since after the New Year, Xia Yue and the others had been in very frequent contact with Beijing, communicating at least once or twice a week.

Lu Jingyao was also very attentive and effective for Xia Yue and the others' college entrance exam, actually buying some college entrance exam review materials that were said to be the most famous of the same era for Xia Yue.

Xia Yue and the others treated them like treasures, forming a three-person "Book Protection Group," and even kept them under their pillows when sleeping at night.

Then they organized the students of Repeater Class 1 into several parts, copying and studying them batch by batch.

The eight-person small group naturally didn't have the qualification.

Li Ye didn't care either. The college entrance exam review materials compiled by the Beijing Haidian Teachers' Training School were indeed excellent teaching materials in the late seventies and early eighties, but for Li Ye, who possessed a biological hard drive, they were just so-so.

When you are holding a ground-level cultivation method and practicing bitterly, expecting to achieve great success and dominate the world, you don't expect that our eight-person small group is using a heaven-level cultivation method to wipe our butts.

"The teacher is coming!"

Someone shouted, and the noisy classroom was suddenly in a flurry. The students who were gathered together and discussing enthusiastically returned to their seats one after another and sat down.

Dean Tang Feiyu walked into the door with a spring breeze, followed by the head teacher of Repeater Class 1, Teacher Luo.

Some students immediately sensed that something was wrong, because the Dean wouldn't enter the classroom easily. Generally speaking, if he came, something must have happened.

And bad things were much more likely than good things.

But looking at Jin Feiyu's full face of joy, today should be a good thing, right?

"First of all, I want to congratulate everyone. Your Repeater Class 1 has achieved very excellent results in this year's province-wide preliminary exam... Out of 52 students, 41 have passed the preliminary exam line."

"........"

"Whoa, there are 41 of them!"

"Good heavens, there are actually 41 people, nearly a dozen more than last year!"

The vast majority of students in Repeater Class 1 were excited and clamored.

"First of all, I want to congratulate everyone. Your Repeat Class 1 has achieved excellent results in this year's provincial preliminary exams... Out of 52 students, 41 have passed the preliminary exam cutoff."

The screening rate of the preliminary exam exceeded two-thirds, but this two-thirds was not the two-thirds average of each class.

Among them, high school graduates were the disaster area, and they could only apply to the "surviving one-third" after entering the repeater class.

Repeater Class 1, as the fast class of County No. 2 Middle School, was definitely going to exceed one-third, but being able to reach the current 78% pass rate was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

This was definitely good news for those students who were hanging at the end of the class.

There were 52 people in total, and only 11 didn't pass the line, so... it shouldn't be me, right?

"Cough~, I will now announce the top twenty."

Tang Feiyu directly snatched the work that originally belonged to Teacher Luo and read out the grade ranking list.

And Teacher Luo stood aside with a resentful face, unable to do anything.

This was originally his highlight moment!

Teaching and educating people for hundreds of days, and having someone else pick the peach when reading the results—isn't this like spending ten thousand yuan to buy a firework, only to have a naughty child secretly light the fuse in broad daylight?

【Twentieth place: Yang Shugao, 316 points.】

【Nineteenth place.........】

【Fourteenth place: Qi Meijuan, 339 points.】

A girl with a signature braid in the classroom looked at Tang Feiyu in shock, suspecting that he had read it wrong.

During the county-wide joint exam before the New Year, Qi Meijuan was the ninth, and in the joint exams after the New Year, she also hovered between 7th and 8th, and her grades had always been very stable.

But how did she suddenly fall out of the top ten and reach the fourteenth place?

【Ninth place: Zhuang Hongxing, 361 points.】

"Wow, 361 points, this can be tried for junior college."

Inside the classroom, there was a chorus of envy.

But Zhuang Hongxing, who had a signature head of white hair, had his face collapse.

He had risen against the trend from Repeater Class 3 into Repeater Class 1 in the final joint exam last year, and at that time he had scored second in the class.

It was just that in the last few joint exams, he had been hovering between 4th and 6th.

Now hearing that he was ninth, he wasn't completely surprised.

There were some reasons for this that he couldn't say, because he always felt that Xia Yue and the others had some invisible exclusion toward him, a latecomer, and sharing study materials was never smooth.

Especially once, after he brought back the materials mailed by Lu Jingyao from the mailroom, this situation became even more obvious.

Because on Lu Jingyao's package, the recipient was "Repeater Class 1," not Xia Yue personally.

But Zhuang Hongxing was alone and weak, so even if he had opinions, he could only hold them in.

Sometimes he envied Li Ye's "minority," although there were few people, they were very united, and Zhuang Hongxing always had an illusion,

Li Ye's group, in terms of momentum, was not weaker than their "majority."

【Eighth place: Li Dayong, 366 points.】

【Seventh place: Fu Yingjie, 369 points.】

【Sixth place: Han Xia, 373 points.】

【Fifth place.........】

Reading to this point, Jin Feiyu raised his head and looked down. The classroom was already silent.

If Qi Meijuan falling to fourteenth and Zhuang Hongxing falling to ninth made everyone feel a bit strange,

Then Li Dayong, Fu Yingjie, and Han Xia forcefully breaking into the top ten was enough to make people stare.

When had these three ever entered the top ten?

Even when Li Dayong "guessed" an eleventh place in the final joint exam last year, he later faded into the crowd.

But what is the situation now?

The three of them... have all touched the threshold of applying for a junior college?

Isn't this a joke?

And several students in the classroom who were usually between 10th and 20th were even more ugly-faced.

They hadn't heard their names at the beginning, so they thought they had performed exceptionally well and entered the top ten!

As a result, now it was people from Li Ye's eight-person small group who entered the top ten, so who... was squeezed out?

In addition...

Slowly, many people turned their heads to look over.

Because in the eight-person small group, there were five people whose names hadn't been read, and now the one being read was sixth.

Xia Yue, who hadn't been read yet, suddenly had an absurd thought.

【Impossible, it's impossible for me not to enter the top twenty... I estimated at least 380, unless by any chance...】

Besides...

【Fourth place: Hu Man, 381 points.】

【Third place: Xia Yue, 404 points.】

"Whoo~~"

Xia Yue let out a long breath and loosened her clenched fists.

404 points, much better than her estimated score. This was no longer a score that could apply for a junior college; this was a score that hit undergraduate head-on!

But why... didn't she feel happy?

【Second place: Yan Jinbu, 406 points.】

【First place: Jiang Xiaoyan, 415 points.】

Xia Yue knew why she wasn't happy.

Because she didn't get the first place she expected.

In an era where there were no formal college entrance exam review materials on the market, the college entrance exam materials from the Beijing Haidian Teachers' Training School were really useful.

And Xia Yue was the recipient of the mail, the leader of the Book Protection Group, and had absolute priority in reading and the right to distribute copies.

It could be said that after getting this material, Xia Yue realized that the papers issued by the school last winter might have been papers that Li Ye had painstakingly found.

Both had almost the same effect.

Later, Li Ye didn't have papers, and the members of his self-study group also fell behind.

Xia Yue felt that she had finally obtained the opportunity to reverse, and had successfully grasped the knack of doing questions.

And Xia Yue is the recipient of the mail and the leader of the book protection group, possessing absolute priority for reading and the right to distribute copies.

She was determined to win the title of the number one seed of County No. 2 Middle School.

But now... why was she third?

Xia Yue thought more and more uncomfortably, more and more distressed. The preliminary exam score of over 400 points was no longer fragrant.

"Now those whose names I have read can pack up and leave. Those who are willing to repeat can call their parents to re-handle the procedures."

After announcing the top twenty, Tang Feiyu began to read another list, a list of only 9 people.

"Pei Zhizhi, Bao Hongbing........"

Those whose names were read had pale faces and silently packed their things.

Their college entrance exam process for this year had ended in advance. They could either choose to repeat and prepare for the 1983 college entrance exam, or give up and leave this battlefield forever.

Many students left crying.

Suddenly, a student who was about to walk out of the classroom asked Tang Feiyu: "Dean Tang, how many points did Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu score?"

Tang Feiyu paused, turned to the second page of the grade sheet, and said: "Li Ye 305, Watching Wen Leyu 306."

"Alright, go!"

Tang Feiyu waved his hand and drove the student away, then looked at Li Ye and said: "Li Ye, Principal Chang asked me to notify you to go over after the scores are announced."

".........."

Many students in the classroom looked at Li Ye with schadenfreude.

And Jiang Xiaoyan and the others were all worried. ===== CHAPTER 82 =====

"Alright, go on!"

Tang Feiyu waved his hand, shooed that student away, and then looked at Li Ye, saying, "Li Ye, Principal Chang asked me to notify you to come over once the scores are released."

".........."

Many classmates in the classroom looked at Li Ye with schadenfreude.

But Jiang Xiao, and others, all became worried.
